Just a note that we’ve changed how we’re counting blogs, we’re now retroactively adjusting for blogs that were deleted or removed. (We killed 41 thousand splogs last month.)

Some stats tanked though… we used to do about 24 thousand theme switches a day, and after the theme preview was introduced that dropped to around 11 thousand. However people love theme previewing, they do it about 40 thousand times a day!

For the geeky among you, WordPress.com is now using about 260 megabits per second of bandwidth average, with spikes as high as 820 mbits earlier today from the Apple Gizmodo liveblog. (Which did up to 941 requests per second all by itself during the keynote.) So last month we used about 80 terabytes of bandwidth.

420 million page views divided by 705,000 active blogs equals an average of 600 page views per blog per month … and each blogger makes an average three posts per month … and gets four comments a month …

Thats freaking awesome!! Good job, great to hear your site is having so much success! I joined because I thought it would be a good place for me to just talk and let my words flow. Its hard to do these days because of the speed by which information is being shared. I feel like one day ill just explode. Ohh man that would be interesting.
